Etsy Roundup – Birds of a Feather

I love feathers right now. Any sort of feather; metal, faux, real, dyed… they’re all beautiful! They are gorgeous in hair bows, earrings, decorations and more. Some crafty Etsy designers have combined beads with feathers to create these lovelies and I thought I would share my favorites with you.

What is your jewelry style? Eclectic. I like mix-and-match elements and an asymmetrical look. I wear lots of neutral-colored clothes so I make jewelry with bright, stand-out colors.

If we looked into your craft closet, what would we see? An avalanche of photography, sewing, beading, card-making and quilting supplies would spill out and bury you alive. I'd take some emergency supplies if I were you.

If you were a mad scientist, what would you invent? Negative-calorie Molten Chocolate Cake.

Etsy Roundup – Froggies

I don’t know about you, but I have frogs on the brain right now. Maybe my daughter is way too excited about her Princess and the Frog movie. Maybe the tantalizingly warmer weather is making me crazy. Either way, here are some frog-inspired pieces that I loved this week. Some are perfect for grown-ups, while others are just right for little frog-kissing princesses.

Describe your jewelry style: Minimalist and Mixed media. I like my jewelry to be classy enough to wear to church, but with a little indie flair.

What is your 'must-see' TV show? Pushing Daisies, Better Off Ted, Chuck, and 30 rock.

What is the strangest skill that you possess? I can fit several quarters in my belly button like a vending machine. Sadly, no candy comes out.

My apologies to Beth Blanc for accidentally giving credit for her piece, Crѐme Brûlé, to someone else this morning. I’ve just caught my mistake and fixed it.  More of Beth’s works can be seen in the Designer Highlight section of the February issue.
